At Lehigh Valley Grand Prix, fun is the center of everything we do. Go-karting is a wonderful way people of all ages can let loose and feel the thrill of racing. We offer a genuine racing experience that gives the driver the true-to-life feeling of competition and a glimpse of what it takes to be one of their favorite NASCAR or Indy racers. All this without the exorbitant cost or incredible risks that come with NASCAR racing!

Go kart racing brings out a sense of competition in everyone.

Whip around the bends of our brand new 13-turn course at speeds of 45 miles per hour for an exhilarating experience unlike any other. Drivers feel real g-forces working against them while they accelerate and fly around the turns at high speeds. Our new course layout boasts a 300-foot straightaway that allows racers to jockey for the lead position and head straight to the top of the leaderboard. Our go karts are a step above the rest because they are all gas-powered which means that there’s no need for recharging the batteries between races. Our facility is also well ventilated to ensure you have a pleasant racing atmosphere.

While you visit Lehigh Valley Grand Prix be sure to visit our Octane Bar. The Octane Bar is an on-premise restaurant that will be sure to refuel you before or after the race. Whether you crave pizza, a good burger or some delicious wings, we have all your favorite foods waiting for you. We also have five 42” wide screen televisions throughout the bar that allow racing buffs to catch all of the up-to-the-moment live racing action as well as pre-recorded events that happen in the middle of the night. While we do offer Happy Hour, we do not allow alcoholic beverages to be served before the race. No drinking and driving on our watch. We encourage you to come back after the race and celebrate your victory with your group!

If you were to ask what makes Lehigh Valley Grand Prix so much fun, anyone who has been here will give you a laundry list of their favorite things. There is, however, one answer we get most often. Competition. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t want to cross the finish line first.

We offer many exciting packages to groups of 8 or more. Want to celebrate a Birthday here? Perhaps a Corporate Outing, Client Appreciation Day or even a Bachelor’s Party? Lehigh Valley Grand Prix is the place for you!

Being the event planner for the company holiday party can be a challenge. There is a lot of pressure to come through big and to make the boss and staff happy. The safe move is to hit the nice restaurant for dinner with a couple of drinks afterwards. It will be well received and you will have done a satisfactory job.

The holidays seem to start earlier and earlier every year! Christmas decorations are going up before Thanksgiving? Black Friday starts on Thursday? The holiday shopping madness has become so competitive that you need a full set of football pads to participate or a 2010 SNELL Rated Helmet!

At LVGP we have stuck to our guns. We are proud to say our employees were able to enjoy the holidays with their families and our Christmas decorations went up after Thanksgiving. The team here is extremely excited to host all of our customers for the holiday parties and family fun, over the next few weeks. It is always an exciting atmosphere at LVGP this time of year.

Don’t forget that the gift of adrenaline is the most exciting gift you can give this holiday season!!

Teambuilding is vital for any group working together, playing together or interacting together with a focus of reaching a common goal. This is something we have preached at Lehigh Valley Grand Prix for the past 4 years. A couple of months ago it came to our attention that we were talking the talk but not walking the walking. Last night LVGP held it’s first ever holiday party. We used the night to celebrate our victories of 2010 and to get everyone excited for a fresh start in 2011.

To celebrate we chose to take everyone to a local bowling alley (couldn’t do go karting ) and do a secret Santa gift exchange. It was a great experience seeing everyone out of the working environment and enjoying each other’s company. Not to pat myself on the back but I was very excited to see how strong our team has bonded here at the facility. There was not one individual who did not show up to the event or was not engaged throughout the evening. Bowling is not for everyone but the fact that everyone participated shows that they care more about the team interaction then they do their individual preferences. THAT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!!

We will be posting our holiday pics on Facebook so if you are not a fan of Lehigh Valley Grand Prix you should be!!

It is that time of year when the company is hosting it’s annual holiday party. This is a great time of year to enjoy the festivities but be careful because it can also be a dangerous season for job security. It is easy to forget the work place boundaries when alcohol is thrown into the mix. Be sure to read these helpful tips before you dive into the conversations, open bars, and a more relaxed atmosphere at the company event.

1) Indulge in the free bar- It is very easy to get excited about a free bar! Been there and done that! You need to remember that this is a work event. Alcohol changes judgement and behavior. This is not a wedding or bachelor party, this is a work event. Professionalism is key for survival. Limit yourself to 1 or 2 drinks period.

2) Be a Debbie Downer- Nobody likes a negative attitude. Don’t be the person who is complaining about the food spread, decorations or the music. Remember that this is not a requirement for the company to throw a party. Also, remember that the economy still stinks! Revenue and profits could be down and your complaining might strike some real nerves with the boss or owner.

3) Mention raises or bonuses- If you receive a nice raise or bonus and mention it to a coworker who did not then you are a jerk. If you complain about not receiving a raise or bonus then you are the loser. Either way you can’t win!

4) Make Moves on Coworkers- The environment is loose and friendly. You have had a drink or two and now you have gained the courage to make a move on a coworker. Not only are you asking for a lawsuit but you are not exactly sending the right message in your workforce. Who wants the sloppy drunk from the office??

5) Gossip- My final recommendation is to not gossip. Not only does it put you in a bad position but nobody likes to be around the gossip queen. Enjoy yourself, keep your thoughts and comments to yourself and enjoy the party!
